#fic: Possessed Starsabre AU

[merlinfromberlin]

Oli!!!, maybe you don't know me very well because when I read your first story I was only a guest but I really follow you from the first chapter of "Champions are not born", I will only tell you that Your stories and ideas are simply fantastic and You really have a lot of creativity when creating them, I really love them and I hope that your week can change for the better ❤️‍🩹.

Now without further ado, I want to know more about "Starsabre Possession AU", I think I read a draft about it, it's where Bumblebee has his first cosmic horror experiment, losing control of his own body, isn't it?

My head can't stop thinking about the possibilities since you mentioned that there was some kind of ancient God trapped in the star saber and when Bee came back to life he also wasted it in his body, god I need more Context!!, I can't stop thinking In the horrors that this could bring to the team and to the new Cybertron under reconstruction, what is the entity? Is it malignant or benign? Will there be body horror in the equation? What plans does the entity have for young Bee?

I know the question is very ambiguous but god I need to know just a little more, especially how Optimus and Ratchet are handling it, their poor son is possessed by an unknown creature and they frankly seemed terrified.

(English is not my main language either but I don't know if I could ask you questions in Spanish )

Hi! ^^ We maybe haven't talked much yet, but I've seen you around for a long time and it's always a joy to see you pop up in my notifications. Knowing that you've literally been here since the first chpater of Champions Aren't Born is a bit mind-blowing, though. I feel very honoured by that. <3 Thank you so much for the compliment.

I sadly don't speak Spanish [yet], but it's very high up on my list of languages I want to learn. ^^"

Yes. I posted a sort of concept/idea for the "Starsabre Possession AU" a while ago. ^^

I'll answer your questions out of order, so that I can put the stuff that contains spoilers for the plot below the cut.

I know the question is very ambiguous but god I need to know just a little more, especially how Optimus and Ratchet are handling it, their poor son is possessed by an unknown creature and they frankly seemed terrified.

Neither Optimus nor Ratchet are doing too hot. However, neither of them is willing to even admit that to Bee. They are trying to pretend as if everything's normal, but at the same time it is very obvious that it isn't - they can't look Bee in the eyes, they start avoiding physical contact with him and are, in general, just very stressed. Whenever Bee tries to ask them about it or cheer them up, they do their best to divert his attention. And yes, they are terrified for Bee - maybe not as much in the beginning, but the longer the story goes on, the harder it gets for them to keep it together.

Will there be body horror in the equation?

I'll be honest, I only have a very vague understanding of what body horror entails, so I'd have to research first before I can make a more definitive statement on that.

However, if that helps in any way, shape or form, I can say that I'm usually a fan of psychological horror and don't like gore too much. ^^"

Is [the entity] malignant or benign?

Well, neither Optimus nor Ratchet are necessarily trying to stop the entity, at least not in the beginning. So, what happened at the Omega Lock has them convinced that it's benign. However, there is more to it than that and the longer all of this goes on, the more suspicious both of them (all of the bots, actually) get. :)

In the horrors that this could bring to the team and to the new Cybertron under reconstruction, what is the entity?

Okay. So, when I first wrote the concept, I had no clue what I wanted the entity to be. But then I remembered that the Aligned continuity had like, 13 Ancient Primes I could use for this. So, the entity is one of the 13 Primes. I've already settled on some of the Primes I want to be involved in the story, but there's some others I've not yet fully decided on because I need to research them some more first.

Which is also the reason why it'll probably take a while until I really start writing this story. I'll have to read the Covenant of Primus first and before I'm allowing myself to do that, I need to finish my essays for university. ^^"

What plans does the entity have for young Bee?

Oh, well. One of their goals is definitely to rebuild Cybertron according to their imagination. Another is going to be to get their own frame. :)

AMA about any of my fics!

Hi, my week's been absolutely, singularly terrible and is most likely only going to become more terrible in the next few days.

So, if you have any questions about any of my fics or wips or headcannons, please, please, please feel free to shoot me an ask about them.

I could really use any distraction right now.

Overview of Fics and WIPs below the cut because I have a long, long list of projects:

Fics:

A Little Left of Right

Champions Aren't Born

Dreaming of Home

Make You Feel Alright (+ companion fics!)

Nooks & Crevices

various oneshots

WIPs/Ideas:

Numb Little Bug (TFP rewrite; Bee as a sort of disciple [honestly, not entirely sure if that's the correct English word] of Primus/mildly possessed by a weird feeling - 1st chapter is almost finished)

TF One Prequel (focuses on B-127's life up until meeting Dee and Orion, features Dad-Ratchet and at least Brawn, if not more of the Minibots from G1; I have 1 prologue and 1 chapter of this finished and might upload it next weekend)

Starsabre Possession AU (something lives in the Starsabre and takes posession of Bee when he dies at the fight at the Omegalock)

Megatron "Fake Redemption" Arc (TFP; not entirely sure if the redemption arc would really be fake or not because I have complicated feelings on redeeming someone like Megs, especially in TFP - maybe I'd also do an Amnesia arc; anyway, I'd want to explore Bee's feelings towards that and especially towards it happening in his direct vicinity + I want to do something A Monster Calls-Esque where he talks to the spirits of the Primes in order to make sense of all of this; + I'd imagine him running away at some point or another and hanging out with KOBD who've abandoned the Cons at that point)

Humanformers/Mecha AU (probably based on TFP, maybe a mix of different stuff - Earth and Cybertron are parallel dimension versions of the same planet and Shockwave creates a portal between them; and then throws a few people through it in order to test it out - among them Predaking and Bee; later a rescue mission consisting of a few more Autobots as well as more Cons also ends up on Earth)

"Bayverse Twist-Up" (Shattered Glass esque rewrite of the Bayverse Movies inspired loosely by Arthurian Literature - although that Arthurian Literature inspo is relatively new so I can't say too much about that part yet)

TF ONE Shatterred Glass (based on Animal Farm by George Orwell)

TFP MegOP after the War (because I need more angry Bee in my life; similar to the Fake Redemption but oneshot focusing on the fallout between Optimus and Bee)

TFP "Back to the Future" AU (I think Bee and Hot Rod going back in time and watching Orion Pax and the crew being friends with Megatronus and working together with him before he turns could be really funny/interesting)

Theoretically I have some more ideas but these are the ones that are the most fleshed out so that I can actually answer some questions about them.

I'm starting to understand why I never finish any of my ongoing projects. Well. Also, yes, my roommate was absolute correct when she said that there's a pattern to my stories and that is torturing Bee.
